Replace the word theology with ideology = human mental content.
As with the rotation of the Sun around the Earth and vice versa there are two views of the nature of God and we seek the experimentum crucis (like the phases of Venus) to distinguish them. The standard model of god is self contradictory as I show in my book Chapter 3: Lonergan. Jeffrey Nicholls (2025): Cognitive Cosmogenesis: A systematic integration of Physics and Theology
Creation requires disinhibition and I have reached an age when I have no need to be inhibited because my powers are limited anyway, but I want to take my new theology as far as it can go, writing for the Atlantic, starting on about the 4th edition of Imperial genocide is a theological crime because wholesale killing is motivated by the excision of heresy, the standardization of belief which is what Nicea, Constantine, all the Popes and dictators and Trump want to do and the fundamental error is eliminating creation which is rooted in Kolmogorov’s axiomatization of probability which feeds into the cognitive cosmogenesis site page 28 principle 15 Chapter 28: Principles embedded in this site Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov (1956): Foundations of the Theory of Probability

Philip 77. Auntie Rosalie very confused; and me? Still looking for a path to global theology and slowly seeing something taking shape in the mist. Beginning to see that cognitive cosmogenesis is a firm foundation upon which I can build a testable hypothesis to replace Genesis and break the Catholic two truths theory with an experimentum crucis like Galileo’s observation of the phases of Venus to settle the Copernican question.
I want to settle the theological question: physics or mythology, greatly cheered by JJ Hopfield’s Nobel prize. What is the settlement. The beginning (Aristotle) Aquinas’s god is bare? naked? gravitation which is all penetrating, affecting every moment of our lies, the universal force, the divinity, equipped with an irresistible lust for life which penetrates every pore of the whole universe, the god that drives quantum mechanics to the search for stable structure, driving the equivalent of hylomorphism for which I need a portmanteau word combining action, energy and form working together inside the boundaries of consistency / omnipotence. Kolmogorov’s tabula rasa is the foundation from which the variation from which the world arises. John J. Hopfield (2024_12_08): Nobel Lecture: Physics is a point of view
My idea of resistance is to create something so new and powerful that it sweeps the old stuff out of sight. My new theology is intended to be the epitome of theologies, binding
[page 141]
all human knowledge and being into a single unit, what is sometimes called a theory of everything, a formal representation capable of embracing every structure and event in the universe, a transfinite quantum (digital) communication network constrained only by consistency and starting from empty omnipotence, another word for the initial singularity, empty gravitation.

So now at last theological genocide is coming to an end. The evolutionary formation of the universe on variation and selection deletes the god of absolute control as it deletes all the autocrats and infallible popes and leads us to individual self determination among particles of all sizes which, in human societies, means effective education about all the issues facing each individual and the freedom for each individual to decide their path through this sea of possibility. The algorithm has given us the perfect world of nature in which wilderness is the most gentle and stable system and it is what we observe before we start bulldozing, imprisoning and killing everything that we depend on for survival and beauty. The paradigm to follow is the way our own bodies manage the trillions of cells that constitute them.

The politics of creation. We can see that the universe has a very simple beginning, easily comprehensible. Evolution by variation and selection has the power to explain everything. And it teaches us that the murderous politics of imperialism is wrong. Imagine that you are a carnivorous lion watching the crucifixion . . .
Now the governments of Israel and Russia are committing genocide under the cover of their old gods. . .
The agony of Galileo, the first scientist, derived from the genocide described in the book of Joshua (10:12-13) in the Hebrew Bible. There Joshua asked Yahweh to stop the Sun to give him time to finish killing the inhabitants of the Promised Land. Two thousand years later the Holy Inquisition took this text seriously and threatened Galileo’s life for discovering that the real world works differently.
Jesus is a blaspheming heretic. The high priests know he deserves to die and they know the occupying Romans, imperial to the core, will make a good job of it.
Blurb/precis/abstract. Sixty years ago I signed away my
[page 143]
humanity to become a slave to the imperial Roman Catholic Church. I took lifelong vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to become a member of the Order of Preachers. This order was founded soon after Pope Innocent III had conducted a military crusade against heretics in Southern France, possibly killing a million of them. I joined the Order at the time of the second Vatican council and was deeply impressed by the way Thomas Aquinas had introduced Aristotelian science into Christianity. I wrote an essay suggesting that the Church could move into the twentieth century by repeating this renovation of theology, this time using real science. My plan involved the hypothesis that the universe is divine, heresy in the Catholic Church. I was expelled from the Order and this essay is the result of my conviction, like Galileo, that I was right and the Church is wrong, espousing a genocidal imperialist theology which has cost many millions of lives beginning in ancient Sumeria [Mesopotamia] when the priests and emporers [warlords] began to build their houses next to one another.
Fizzled at the end. Must emphasize the intelligence and self control of particles, begining with elementary and then applying symmetry wth respect to complexity to get to people [, the universe as a whole] and democratic freedom with reference to common physics serving as the DNA for social solidarity and cooperation as in our bodies and then critique of imperialist
[page 144]
falsehoods enforced by violence.
Catholic Church is the oldest and most powerful autoracy which keeps a very tight rein on doctrine. My preious 7 sections have rendered the Christian god with omniscience unnecessary so we start with ignorant omnipotence. “Truth” enforced by violence.
Why do I come to a grinding halt all of a sudden? Bed now and wake uo with a better story [intellectual progress is like evolutionary progress, extinctions, breakthroughs and a lot of business as usual]
We have replaced the imperial omniscient god in charge of everything with an empty omnipotent source of power which gradually multiples into a vast number of independent entities. Now we look for the political consequences of this and the lion tells the story.

§ 7. Fermions, bosons, Minkowski space and relativity
§ 8. Political differences between universe that created itself and a universe created by a classical god. Evil and predation, the lion and the empire, ie the political consequences of a divine [self created, like the Trinity] universe. Its taking a long time to get this right but I hope it will be worth it since it cuts to the base of global human ideology which must be reformed before world peace will be possible A common TOE [based on the success of the evolved physical structure of the universe]
[page 145]
is needed for our harmony with the world which will (?) imply harmony with one another. Harmony / superposition, quantum mechanics/ stability [nodes]. All these ideas are coalescing like the waves on the two stone pond.
Phone:
My story is relatively credible with respect to the Catholic story.
My story is very simple because the universe was very simple at the beginning.
§ 8. The poltical consequences of the self-made universe. There is nobody in charge. There is no space and time in Hilbert space. All distsances ae measured by the multidimensional angle between vectors measured by their inner product.
Massless particles are memory, carrying states (spin, not frequency) eg cosmic background.
QM symmetrical w. r. t. complexity - we begin with 2D duality of particles boson and fermion and continue to countable infinity base state of the universe. Tired mind, sleep on it and start again.
Home again, Auntie Rosalie vague but lively.
Some numerical thoughts on evolution. Say genome 1G bases, possibilities 4billion. Say one billion species at any time, so 4billion - 1 genomes rejected. Selection process rejects a huge number of possibilities which are judged “bad”.
The split between fermions and bosons is very closely
[page 146]
related to the split between space and time — they are orthogonal and there are there orthogonal dimensions in space (which means?)
You wanted excellence. I have had the day off today, apart from writing on the phone, because I have come to terms with a qubit whose two basis states are fermions and bosons.
We can explain the execution of the quantum algorithm by the role of the clock in a real computer in Minkowski space, the form being activated by the input of energy from gravitation.

New blurb: The hypothesis in this essay is that imperialism is a destructive evil in the human political world created by the [combination of ] theological assumption of divinity described in Exodus: “I am the Lord your God and you shall have no other gods before me” [and the development of physical technologies like steel swords that made it easy to kill people, particularly if they were unarmed. Exodus 32]. Theologians, working for emperors in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia identified their rulers with this concept of divinity and gave us the top down Catholic Church and the autocratic Papacy which continues to accept that men and women are unequal in their relationship to divinity and base their beliefs on ancient mythology and enforce them by violence. Here we devise a model of the universe beginning bottom up which rejects imperialism and favours
[page 147]
democracy. The model is as least as credible as the Catholic model and opens the Church to accepting the modern standards of human rights, freedom and science and provides as framework for a scientific theology to unite all the ideological belief systems on Earth.
The down after the up. The wave of consciousness. I am very happy with my article to the Atlantic but it is hard to imagine them accepting it. Will sit on it for the weekend and then send it. Very appropriate attack on the imperialist theocratic autocratic Church now a new pope is elected who will continue to do battle against the ancient theological / capitalist establishment. So what’s next? Begin a workover of Lust for Life.

The purpose of this essay is to break the nexus between traditional theology, imperialism and genocide by replacing the top down omniscient creator of Genesis with a model of creation that begins with an eternal, omnipotent sructureless initial singularity which differentiates through an evolutionary process into the particulate structure of the universe analogous to the growth of the tree
[page 148]
of life from our last universal common ancestor. This model uses the symmetry of quantum mechanics with respect to complexity to show that all the discrete entities in the world are autonomous entities with a ‘[quantum] personality’ that governs their interactions with one another.
This symmetry holds from elementary particles to people and nations and supports bottom up democratic process rather than the top down imperial process, so common in the world today, which appears to be the source of genocidal imperial wars motivated by the search for theological and ideological hegemony made possible by modern physical technologies of physical violence, surveillance and autocratic control [think China].
The model for this evil is the evolutionary technique of predation taken beyond the limits of survival into a search for imperial hegemony illustrated by the depredations of the Putin government in Russia and the Netanyahu government in Israel both seeking to take control of a theologically designated Promised Land established by a fictitious deity.
The heart of the idea here is that the universe is itself divine so that physics and theology have the same subject and it is from physics that we can derive the verifiable evidence to create a scientific theology. We have learnt that doctors have no borders because human physiology is globally identical. By analogy we might seek global spiritual direction from the physical
[page 149]
unity of the universe we inhabit, ie we exploit the physical unity of our environment to establish the psychological unity of our minds. Thus endeth blurb [/pitch /synopsis / summary] n.
A bit technical but on the right track, we have to imitate the elementary particles [which are images of the initial singularity. Einstein fell at the very first jump here by seeking to use continuity rather than singularity as the foundation of his theory of everything]. There are 60 of them, in families comprising similar particles that are more or less duplicates of one another rooted in the differentiation into bosons which are like letters carrying messages through time from one point in space to the future, and fermions which constitute the structures that fill spacetime. Boson - Wikipedia, xFermion - Wikipedia
Forever struggling for a simple explanatory view of everything, theology / theory of everything, all derived from gravitation and logic. Read and edit my article with these concepts in mind. And I have found a pen [biro] designated Artline Smoove that constrains my writing to legibility by its friction with the paper removing the tremor from my hand? A tiding of great joy coupled to the content of my writing,
This article may not make it but I am converging on something.
What just slipped through my mid? A fleeting glimpse: that the initial singularity is a one dimensional Hilbert space,
[page 150]
an empty set whose reality is to be a container box or particle beginning with nothing in it. Everything in Minkowski space is such a particle whose inside we cannot see except myself which is conscious to me and the general thesis of cognitive cosmogenesis is that all other particles are conscious of themselves and this constitutes their agency which defines their role in the larger body politic.
The fundamental error of the Catholic Church is that it denies the agency of women just as imperialism denies the agency of all people [they have no vote], killing the outliers who act against it as Yahweh did to the worshippers of the golden calf. The root of agency in all particles is their inner quantum software. Exodus 32: The Lord orders Moses to slaughter the worshippers of the Golden Calf
